Final Destination

Final Destination

Within wavelets of blue a gaze befalls
upon ripples mesmerizing to the eye
lost in memories as thoughts wander
to times of foregone days gone by

It was but only one poisonous wave
that swept the heart to distant land
loneliness finding solace within a voice
that crossed miles, upon miles by hand

So sweet the voice that lingered,
soothing the mind, deep and true
intruding mid-summer night slumber
secret adoration began to brew

A deathly cocktail so enticing
taste of forbidden fruit so sweet
wondering if the poet realized
he revived a heart that lost it's beat

Another time, perhaps another life
their wings shall spread and soar
but until the whisper of the final breath
her heart belongs on the island shore

Within wavelets of blue a gaze befalls
upon ripples mesmerizing to the eye
lost in memories as thoughts wander
to times of foregone days gone by
